Codfish and Cream

2/3 bowlful of salt codfish

1 pint of sweet cream

sweet milk

Shred the salt codfish, wash it several times with fresh water, drain off the water, and put it into a saucepan with the sweet cream and half a pint of sweet milk. Let it come nearly, but not quite, to the boiling point. Beat together the egg, flour, and two tablespoonfuls of sweet milk; add it to the fish, and stir continually until it is done. Put the mixture in a hot dish, and add the butter, stirring it thoroughly.
